Gardening is a fun and important aspect of life in the valley, especially if you like to cook. But waiting an unknown amount of time for a crop to grow to harvest is an absolute drag.
Below are the growth times for every crop you can grow in Dreamlight Valley and how you can make them grow faster to create the most harvestable (and profitable) garden plots.

Each crop takes a different amount of time to grow, and some of them can require a lot of patience.

Disney Dreamlight Valley Miracle Growth Elixir recipe
The fastest way to get your crops to grow is to craft a Miracle Growth Elixir. The Miracle Growth Elixir can be made on any Crafting Station within the Potion & Enchantment tab. When used, this potion is applied to your Royal Watering Can and will make your crops grow instantly when you water them. You will need the following materials to make one:
- Vitalys Crystal x10
- Rich Soil x10
- Dreamlight x500
Also, remember that without a Miracle Growth Elixir, some plants need additional watering throughout the growth cycle. This is extra true if they take longer to grow. Wheat and corn typically don't need additional watering, but plants like cotton and pumpkin will require at least one additional hit with the watering can before they're done growing. Use the chart above to speed up the process as much as possible!
